1 Best College Prep Private High Schools in Wisconsin
Parent: We transferred my son to The Prairie School in Elementary School after he experienced some challenges at another school in the area. After extensive research, we enrolled him at Prairie mid year. The teacher, staff, and students embraced him with open arms. He quickly began to shift his opinion of school. He received individual attention to overcome his reading challenges and now excels throughout all subjects. He has become a well rounded child that loves school and participates in many diverse activities including sports and the arts. We have had nothing but excellent experiences throughout the school. The environment is one of developing all aspects of the child. The curriculum is challenging and keeps him engaged while peaking his interests and curiosity. For our family, The Prairie School has been an answered prayer and is the only choice for education in our family.

2 Best College Prep Private High Schools in Wisconsin
Parent: MCDS is the best school in Madison, with the top ACT and SAT scores, and the highest percentage of National Merit Scholars. The facilities are top-notch and the faculty care about the students.
The one problem with MCDS is their indiscriminate granting of financial aid. They ought to be more selective rather than just handing aid out like its candy. The extremely high number of students receiving aid (over 50%) causes an imbalance where full-tuition paying families are CONSTANTLY being asked to donate money. This causes frustration for families when they see massive amounts of aid being given to academically inferior students or to students with families who simply don’t want to pay the tuition (as in, “we make 250k a year but we’re too cheap to pay the tuition”). People need to understand that MCDS tuition is half of what it is at any other country day school. And the school needs to understand that it can’t possibly survive by giving away so much free tuition.

3 Best College Prep Private High Schools in Wisconsin
Senior: University School of Milwaukee provides an incredible education with small class sizes and resources that really allow teachers to focus on the individual needs of the students. They are very focused on sports and STEM academics leaving something to be desired in the arts department administratively, but the arts teachers are as dedicated as they come and really help to foster a passion within their students.

Parent: Norfolk Academy provided an extraordinary educational journey for my two children, fueling their curiosity and inspiring them to explore new avenues that they might not have discovered without the incredible teachers and coaches at this school. My oldest child, who came in sixth grade, now studies engineering at an Ivy League university; he particularly loved the robotics team, as well as soccer, swimming, and crew teams. My youngest child, who is a senior at NA, came in first grade, and she has developed a passion for medicine and health, largely through the school's Global Health Fellows program and the Medical Scholars program.

4 Best College Prep Private High Schools in Wisconsin
Senior: Marquette University High School (MUHS) has fulfilled my life academically, socially and spiritually. The overall atmosphere to which all students are exposed to is spectacular to the effect that we are pushed to become stewards of positive change, whether it be in school or out in the community. MUHS encourages all their students to become life-long learners, never putting to waste the chance to learn or step out our shell of conformity and regularity. But, most importantly, MUHS encourages all its students, from the freshman to seniors, to become individuals who go out and serve, rather than be served. In essence, the well rounded education, coupled with the enhanced focus on the individual, creates a perfect atmosphere for any young man to discover his true passions and vocation in life.

5 Best College Prep Private High Schools in Wisconsin
Junior: Edgewood high school is an amazing school if one wants to receive an amazing education. I’m an atheist and was dreading the required religion classes, but I now rather find them interesting as the religion classes offered focus on multiple religions and viewpoints of the world. I felt like I have close relationships with my teachers and could go to them for anything, academic or not. The kids, despite being a little preppy, are all very friendly and due to the medium size of the class you truly know everyone at Edgewood. Overall, the tight-knit community at Edgewood makes any student feel like they belong at Edgewood.

6 Best College Prep Private High Schools in Wisconsin
Senior: DSHA has given me countless opportunities and connected me with wonderful teachers, students, and other faculty members. The school feels connect through our shared faith, yet welcoming to others of different faiths and backgrounds. Retreats bond classes together and the vigorous courses allow students to reach their fullest academic potential. I truly have found the the DSHA community is accepting and supportive, with my only criticism being on its diversity. I feel there are defiantly minority groups who may struggle feeling the same connectedness and support I have felt in the DSHA community. I do believe that DSHA is trying to give these voices a platform through dasher dialogues and culture assemblies. The teachers are caring and hardworking with the students best interests at heart always. Overall DSHA has allowed me to develop leadership skills in my faith, sports and student council, and challenged me academically pushing me to my fullest potential as a student

7 Best College Prep Private High Schools in Wisconsin
Junior: Academics are incredibly strong. Most students are motivated and excited to attend college. School spirit is electric on Field Days and other events, such as homecoming. Most of the teachers are wonderful and go the extra mile for students. Small school allows for more teacher attention and extra help, but students tend to struggle socially as they grow older. Save for heaps of exchange students who stick to themselves, the student body is not racially diverse. It is certainly not economically diverse, either, and students are not often exposed to differing world views. Technology is an obvious weakness; the “Bring Your Own Device” program is a gross demonstration of socioeconomic discrimination, and the technology person is a grumpy old man who offers no help to students.

8 Best College Prep Private High Schools in Wisconsin
Senior: Wayland is a great experience for all students! The student body is less than 200 students and about half of the students are international. Overall, there are students from 32 different countries, which makes this school very diverse compared to all the public schools and many other boarding schools in the nation.
The Academy becomes strict when it comes to academics; They treat the school as if it were a college. The average class size is 14 students per class. With the class size being very small, there is more 1 on 1 times with the teacher during or outside of class.
Although athletics might not be the best, it is good for students to be able to get lots of playing time on the field or court, even though they are not a star player. There are also many clubs and other activities outside of athletics.
Overall, I think Wayland is a great school and I definitely recommend it!

The community is generally accepting, however, there are cliques. The teachers are the most honest, heartfelt people in the city. Although this school is amazing, the college guidance department leaves you unprepared for the college process. If you value respect and family, Xavier High School delivers.

14 Best College Prep Private High Schools in Wisconsin
Senior: After attending Martin Luther High School for almost four years, I have seen a dramatic impact the school's faculty and curriculum has left on me. The teachers in this school continuously reached out to me, making sure I was doing okay. I was convinced by many of my peers to join the wrestling team, and three years later I am the captain of other people I now call brothers and sisters. Leadership was not the only thing that Martin Luther taught me. I learned the true meaning of commitment, hard work, and the importance of academics. The courses provided in the school curriculum are challenging ones that prepare students for college as well as the common hardships of life. Had I not attended this assiduous school, many opportunities that I have now, would not be available to me. In conclusion, Martin Luther High School is one of the greatest educational institutions to ever be established.

15 Best College Prep Private High Schools in Wisconsin
Alum: My experience at St. lawrence Seminary was one of overwhelming change. I came in as a timid and rather strange freshman. That changed when I surrounded myself with the community and took active participation in classes. The catholic aspect of the school is incredibly satisfactory and the adademic aspect is of equal reagrd. The facilities are all clean and are routinely taken care of by not only the janitorical staff, but also by students. We were encouraged to take part in school clean-ups and ministry, exposing us to the world and the greater community. If there was one thing I would have to change about St. Lawrence Seminary, it would be the inclusion of college credits. The AP program is nearly nonexistant, and entering college I was slightly dissapointed to see none of my college level work pay off. Regardless, the school is fantastic, life-changing, and ultimately excellent in all fields related to academics and community.

Senior: Wisconsin Lutheran High School is an exceptional school for any student looking to challenge themselves academically, get involved in extra curricular activities, and be constantly enveloped in a Christian environment. Due to the versatility of the school and the willingness of the teacher and administration, I've been able to experience choir, basketball, STEM curriculum, student council, A/V club, book club, steel band, mission trips to Arizona and Zambia, the Civil Rights Tour, AP classes, and so much more! This school provides amazing opportunities for all of its students in academics, athletics, and fine arts. I'm glad to be able to call Wisco my home.

Parent: I have had seven children go through Christian Life for their entire pre-collegiate careers; the oldest began there in kindergarten in 1991 and the youngest will graduate next year. The experience has been uniformly wonderful. Each has been excellently prepared for the demands of college life, but--of far more long-term importance--each has been nurtured as an individual and encouraged to develop into a balanced, creative, thoughtful, spiritual, compassionate person. Thank you, Christian Life School!

Senior: If you look at St. Thomas More you would think that this seems like a school I want my child to attend and going here for 4 years I would say yes you are correct. This school has everything! We have a variety of sports and clubs that we as the students can get involved in. The culture here is lovely we have a mix of Spanish, African American, Native American, and American culture. This school is very diverse and open to everyone which is a great thing. Another good thing about St. Thomas More is the education we are able to get. The courses are challenging, but they prepare you for college. A few things that I wish they could change is getting better teachers that know what they are doing not some random teacher you find in a public high school. Another thing I wish they would have helped us practice and be ready for the ACT. Even though there might be a few things that should be changed this school is still great! It has made me the person I am today.

Alum: My experience was a bit different in the Lourdes Academy HighSchool. The diversity was very small and I personally didn’t get involved in any clubs because there was very few of them. However, you could make your own club up with a teacher permission which i believe is really cool. Lourdes Academy is best for helping you do good in the community and to help those in need. Along with good class that will help you in the future. One thing I would change is dresscode because I am a strong believer that how one dresses is how they express themselves to one another. I also believe that dresscode is valued more important than academics and I don’t think that’s right. This is my personal review on Lourdes Academy, but if you love the small community environment then this school is the place!!

25 Best College Prep Private High Schools in Wisconsin
Senior: Three things that I love most about Lake Country Lutheran (LCL) are the teachers, academics, and the students. First off, the teachers are amazing. They not only teach their course and material well, they get to know students on a personal level. Secondly, the academics at LCL are great. At LCL you graduate with 50 credits! They offer many AP and honor classes. Also, the grading scale is higher than most schools. Our school still gets higher than average ACT/SAT scores, AP scores, and GPA's. Lastly, the students are great. As a senior I don't know many underclassmen, but I do get many students that will come up to me to say hello even if I've never talked to them before. Also, LCL has many foreign exchange students that attend. The foreign exchange students don't have a problem fitting in and get along great with both students and teachers. LCL keeps improving every year. I would like to see there become more academic opportunities, meaning more classes that students can take.
